When my chefy friend Terrina moved to Bangladesh last year, I inherited all of the goodies from her pantry. Being the gourmet chefy person that she is, I acquired numerous bottles of specialty vinegars, flavored oils and such. As it has been almost 6 months since she left, and I don't use specialty vinegars all that often I have found that some of the vinegar bottles have formed a sedimentary rock layer on the bottom. (Note: The sediment isn't really "rock-like" but I've always loooved the phrase "sedimentary rock" so I'm going with this description today.) Long story short, Rob's inclination was to toss the vinegar but I decided to Google words "vinegar and sediment" and I found this interesting tidbit.
"Research shows that because of its acidic nature, vinegar is self-preserving and has an indefinite shelf life. It does not need refrigeration. White distilled vinegar will remain almost unchanged over a long period of time. Some vinegar may show change such as developing sediment or becoming hazy, but this does not affect the usefulness of the vinegar."
P.S. Thank god for spell check. If I hadn't run the spell check on this post you would have read "When my chefy friend Terrina moved to Bangladesh last year, I inheireted all of the goodies in her panty." Thong, bikini brief, pick your poison.
